CPS - Review of the Impact of Streamlined Process on the Integrated Prosecution Team Model
Review of the Impact of Streamlined Process on the Integrated Prosecution Team Model
CPS London has recently embarked upon a reorganisation to deliver new day-to-day operations, which is part of a wider reform programme within the Criminal Justice System (CJS) in London.
Overview
Capita health planners were appointed, as part of the Technical Advisory Team, to support NHS Forth Valley in their procurement of a new acute hospital, a new community hospital, and a health centre.
The commission followed on from previous work with the client developing their outline business cases, and consulting with the wider public community on the options being considered for delivering modern and effective healthcare services to Forth Valley.
Our approach
The scope of the commission was to work with the two project teams to:
- Develop project briefing documentation
- Support the procurement process and provide ongoing procurement advice throughout the process of selecting a preferred PFI partner
- Continue to work with the NHS Board and the preferred commercial partner until completion of the design development process.
During commission this role was extended to include:
What we delivered
To support this project our multidisciplinary team provided:
- Experience of fulfilling this role in comparable health projects
- Specialist knowledge of health building note guidance and current best practice
- A clear understanding of most recent developments in the field (case for single room accommodation/understanding of the concept of evidence-based design).
The success of this project relied on challenging timescales being met at every stage of the procurement process. This was achieved by working effectively with the project team, putting the building blocks for success in place, and following pre-agreed, tried and tested processes.
Capita worked alongside the project teams to create briefing documentation to describe modern models of care that will be used to deliver services from the new facilities. Through training and collaborative working, Capita contributed to the development of the project teams’ and clinical leads’ skills, so that they were able to take an informed role in the development and evaluation of design solutions.
